Biography
Emilio Rebenga was born in Cuba to a poor family, and he was one of the most loyal supporters of Fidel Castro during the Cuban Revolution in 1958-59. Rebenga became a government official in the communist regime, but he later fell out with Castro and was exiled to the United States, arriving in the 1980 Mariel Boatlift. He was hated by the other Cuban refugees, as he was responsible for torturing and killing dissidents while he was friends with Castro; most of the immigrants that arrived in America had been imprisoned by Castro or had risked their lives trying to flee from his rule. On 11 August 1980, he was stabbed in the abdomen by a Cuban with a knife during the Freedomtown riots, and he died of his wounds in the middle of the camp as the camp descended into chaos.
